| ==Restructuring and Updating ]== | |||
| Hello! I am Regina Leslie, a student at ]. I intend to make extensive structural changes and contextual updates to the article Racism in the United States, as a cumulative assignment in my ]. | |||
| I have found that the current page is comprehensive, yet disorganized. As forms of discrimination continually evolve with transforming societal norms, I will provide a thorough understanding of the historical context, consequences, and systemic responses to this concept. Thus, I aim to provide a holistic and succinct summary of racial discrimination in the United States. My additions will be supplemented by reputable research, as accessed through Rice University. | |||
| Feel free to provide suggestions for improvements! I honestly will deeply respect and appreciate all thoughtful input! | |||

| This article will cite the trends in school desegregation/resegregation since the Supreme Court ruling in Brown v. Board of Education. It will then document the various potential causes of these trends including residential segregation, school choice policies, and court rulings that have reversed previous desegregation efforts. The article will then cite studies on the effects of segregated schools, including its effects on educational attainment and social wellbeing. Finally, the article will document the various policies proposed for reversing this trend (such as greater regulation of charter schools). | |||

| Dear WikiProject: I think the ] page is in the scope of the discrimination project (please let me know if it isn't).

| ==New Article: Structural Violence in Haiti== | |||
| == Requesting assessment == | |||
| Hello! I am a student at Rice University and am currently a member of a class on Poverty, Gender, and Human Capabilities. One of our assignments is to produce a Misplaced Pages contribution. I am currently working on a contribution regarding structural violence in Haiti and I just want to share a bit more on my planned contribution and to receive any comments and advice that you might have. | |||
| I have created the article ] which seemed to be in the scope of this project along with the ] which it forms the final ignoble chapter of. | |||
| Will someone please provide an assessment of those two articles as it relates to this project? I have temporarily marked them both as low importance. ] (]) 02:09, 25 May 2024 (UTC) | |||
| I will be creating a new entry on structural violence in Haiti and would just like to share a bit on the outline that I have. For my article, I will begin with a definition of “Structural Violence” and its relevance in Haiti. I will then elaborate on how different axes of oppression, specifically gender, race (ethnicity), and socioeconomic status, negatively influence the level of structural marginalization. I will then move on to cover some of the major impacts of Structural Violence. Currently, I have identified four major impacts: Poverty, Education, Access to Healthcare, and Health Outcomes. Immediately following impacts, I will cover the factors that have resulted in Structural Violence in Haiti. Following a description of the causes, I will then discuss some of the measures that are currently being taken to address Structural Violence. | |||
| == Requested move at ] == | |||
| I believe that my entry will be a useful contribution to the Misplaced Pages community because it sheds light on the reality that multi-level structural barriers exist within societies that prevent the underprivileged from receiving the same amenities that the more privileged do. Instead of simply attributing a lack of basic human rights/needs to poverty or poor infrastructure, my article will demonstrate that disparity is a result of a multitude of factors ingrained within society—including culture, political entities, racism, and sexism, all of which converge to form a barrier to a select few. | |||

| == ] has an ] == | |||
| To craft my article, I plan on drawing upon a multitude of works, mostly from the fields of Anthropology, Sociology, and Medical Anthropology. Someone in particular who has done much work on structural violence in Haiti is Dr. Paul Farmer. I will be heavily referencing his works, but wonder if you might have any other advice on sources to pursue, particularly those that reference discrimination in Haiti? I want to be cautious of over referencing Dr. Farmer’s works, as well as relying on sources where structural violence is not the primary focus. Do you know of any sources or works that I should consider pursuing? | |||

| Because my Misplaced Pages contribution will specifically address inequity in Haiti, I thought that it would be fitting to reach out the Discrimination project page. I would appreciate any feedback in regards to information on groups that might experience discrimination in Haiti, or if there are certain people—women or indigenous peoples per se—that are at a greater risk of experiencing discrimination in Haiti? Or, on the other hand, if there are certain global countries or communities that outwardly discriminate against Haiti or refuse to give aid to Haiti? | |||

| :::I think the word Islamophobia is blatantly discriminatory, judgmental, and POV, and should not be used at all, especially for a template that links articles to a "Series on Islamophobia". To begin, Islamophobia is a neologism that has not been accepted into mainstream language because it is as racist and discriminatory as what the label itself attempts to define. In fact, the word Islamophobia was recently nixed from the AP Stylebook, a writing style guide that's widely used by journalists and other writing professionals. The reason they gave was "-phobia, "an irrational, uncontrollable fear, often a form of mental illness" should not be used "in political or social contexts." I agree, even though we are not obligated to follow the AP Stylebook. However, the ] does advise against contentious labeling, and the use of weasel words, ], and ]. Islamophobia is clearly contentious. If it wasn't, we wouldn't be having this discussion. | |||
| :::Editors have been adding Islamophobia labels on organizations they unilaterally determine to be critical of Islam, which is subjective labeling, and blatantly judgmental. It is acceptable for editors to cite a reliable source that claims an organization is Islamophobic, (example: according to , "x" organization is Islamophobic), but NPOV dictates that editors must also give equal weight and balance to opposing views, ] and ]. Also, the template includes links to secondary articles that are not related to the primary article. The links are unilaterally selected to promote a cause. It is ] considering the list links to articles about the persecution of Muslims, genocide, governmental massacres, Qu'ran burnings, and so on. ] ] 21:37, 11 March 2014 (UTC) | |||

| The ever-changing world view of the label, "Islamophobia", is changing, as well it should. The AP Style Book discourages its use. The word can best be summed up rather succinctly by the following quote: "A word created by fascists, and used by cowards, to manipulate morons." - ] | |||
| I am amazed that Misplaced Pages is still allowing its use considering it is discriminatory, ] labeling, especially in light of current world events.

Internment of Japanese Americans - Article name and terminology used in article text
Despite the consensus seeming to be in favour of keeping "internment" as the title of Internment of Japanese Americans, the article's text now solely uses the term "incarceration". Consistency between the two would be preferred, especially since the change to the article's text seems to have been made recently without discussion. Eldomtom2 (talk) 13:21, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
Requested move: Genital mutilation and modification → Genital modification

List_of_age-related_terms_with_negative_connotations needs a rewrite
I stumbled upon this article and it may be one of the worst articles I've seen on this site. It seems biased towards old people and lacks references for lots of words, and used an advice animal to demonstrate ageism. More experienced editors working on the article for cleanup would be appreciated. -1ctinus📝🗨 12:16, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
Misandry and Sexism
Project goal: -Improve articles in scope with quality references and viewpoints
How does this project goal reconcile with WP:DUE/UNDUE stated guideline to avoid giving inclusion to tiny minorities? I don't understand how the view that misandry is a form of sexism worth a short section in Sexism needs to prove it is sufficiently represented with reliable sources for inclusion. Seems like the quoted project goal should make it relatively easier for minority viewpoint inclusion, perhaps lowering the bar as compared to articles outside Project Discrimination. Is there a lower bar for viewpoint inclusion within this Project and what is the height of that bar? 75.174.11.193 (talk) 01:32, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
Requesting assessment
I have created the article Big Excursion which seemed to be in the scope of this project along with the Revival Process which it forms the final ignoble chapter of.
Will someone please provide an assessment of those two articles as it relates to this project? I have temporarily marked them both as low importance. Pietrus1 (talk) 02:09, 25 May 2024 (UTC)
